Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2353: Chapter 2357: Expulsion

”If we truly encounter a life-and-death crisis, take out the Ancient Jade and show it to the forces on the plains. It carries the aura of our clan, and they will give some respect!”

Jin Ming glanced at the Ancient Jade in Jiang Chen’s hand.

Jiang Chen nodded gently and put the Ancient Jade away.

”Alright, I won’t be in the way here any longer. Tian Lin, give Jiang Chen the information on the Abandoned Plains.”

Jin Ming instructed the gray-clad elder beside him, greeted Jiang Chen, and his figure flickered before disappearing from the spot.

”Jiang Chen, please wait a moment.”

Jin Tianlin called out and also disappeared.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of people exhaling rang out. The departure of the two elders from the Gold-devouring Rat Clan made the entire third floor seem to come alive again. All the diners wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads, and when they looked at Jiang Chen again, their eyes were filled with awe.

Having connections with the Gold-devouring Rat Clan meant you could walk sideways in this abandoned town.

”Jiang Chen, you really scared us to death!”

Liu Chang looked at Jiang Chen with a wry smile.

”A teacher’s kindness should not be forgotten, must not be forgotten! Jiang Chen, well said!”

Wu Zhong looked at Jiang Chen with admiration.

Not everyone could speak so freely in front of such powerful figures. Jiang Chen’s actions just now earned him the respect of Liu Chang and the others!

”Hey, how do you have the face to come back and sit?”

A dissatisfied voice called out as Lin Shanshan glared at Pang Wei, who had quietly returned to his seat, with a look of disdain.

Jiang Chen looked up at Pang Wei, took out his Identity Jade, and probed it with his Divine Sense.

”What are you doing?”

Pang Wei felt his Identity Jade tremble, took it out to look, and instantly became furious, shouting angrily at Jiang Chen.

”I won’t let someone who only cares about running for their life when facing danger join me on a mission. As Grandpa Jin said, I cannot entrust my back to such a person!”

Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.

When they had formed a team, their names appeared after the number 44 task in Jiang Chen’s Identity Jade. Now, Jiang Chen had removed Pang Wei’s name, indicating that he had kicked Pang Wei out of the team.

”You... Without me, there’s no way the four of you can complete the task!”

Pang Wei said angrily.

”That’s none of your concern!”

Jiang Chen looked at Pang Wei with indifference, picked up the menu on the table, and started looking through it.

A look of panic flashed in Pang Wei’s eyes. Those task points were really high, and if he just left like this, it would all be for nothing.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was determined to expel him from the team, Pang Wei turned to look at Jian Wuheng and Feng Qingyang. He had no hopes for Lin Shanshan since she had been the one to start the trouble.

Noticing Pang Wei’s gaze, Jian Wuheng returned a cold look, while Feng Qingyang simply ignored him.

”Senior Liu Chang.”

Pang Wei gritted his teeth and turned to Liu Chang: ”I spent half a month getting here, and what Jiang Chen is doing to me isn’t fair.”

”I told you before departure, during the mission, all matters are decided by the captain, including expelling team members.”

Liu Chang spoke calmly, but there was a hint of disdain deep in his eyes.

”Get lost! Coward who values life over honor!”

”If someone like that appeared in our adventure team, I would have cut him with a knife!”

”Get out! Don’t stand in our way!”

”Kid, leave this abandoned town quickly. If word gets out about how you abandoned your teammates in the face of danger, you won’t make it out of this town. The adventure teams here aren’t all as good-tempered as us!”

”For people like you, many wouldn’t mind taking you down, just like taking down a Boariform Beast!”

The diners shouted one after another.

Most of the people here belonged to adventure teams, and they all despised the act of abandoning teammates in times of crisis.

Pang Wei glared at Jiang Chen and the others, then slunk out of the Forsaken Tavern.

Listening to the adventurers, fear crept into his heart.

This abandoned town was a haven for adventurers, and he knew well enough how hated his actions were. If any adventurers couldn’t stand it and took action, he might really not leave this town!

”Hey, Jiang Chen, earlier Senior Liu Chang mentioned you found a way to access information, was it through those Gold-devouring Rat Clan elders?”

Lin Shanshan sensed the atmosphere was a bit tense and brought up a topic.

”Of course not, I can’t predict the future.”

Jiang Chen shook his head lightly, glancing at the busy tavern waiter at another table: ”It’s him!”

”Him?”

Lin Shanshan looked at the waiter with a curious expression toward Jiang Chen.

”This is the only tavern in town. Adventurers who often venture into the Abandoned Plains generally stay here. This is the largest information hub in town, and the tavern waiters are the ones most informed, aren’t they?”

Jiang Chen explained with a light laugh.

”Oh, so you intentionally gave the wrong Spirit Stone?”

Lin Shanshan recalled that Jiang Chen first gave a Spirit Stone and then a Gold Coin.

”No, I truly didn’t know they only accepted Gold Coins here. I just went along with it.”

Jiang Chen shook his head, then curiously mumbled: ”Why do they only accept Gold Coins here?”

”Because the golden stones within Gold Coins serve the same purpose for us Gold-devouring Rats as Spirit Stones do for you.”

A lighthearted laugh sounded as Jin Tianlin appeared beside Jiang Chen.

His appearance immediately quieted the bustling third floor.

”This is the information on the Abandoned Plains. Read it here and destroy it afterward. It contains some secrets, so don’t let others get hold of it!”

Jin Tianlin took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Jiang Chen, whispering his instructions.

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, glanced around, and noticed some of the diners looking at the Jade Slip with a hint of eagerness.

Hmph!

Jin Tianlin’s cold snort made all those staring at the Jade Slip lower their heads immediately.

Jiang Chen blinked, thanked him, and reached out to take the Jade Slip.

Jin Tianlin glanced at everyone on the third floor and spoke plainly: ”Everyone here, keep your mouths shut.”

After giving this warning, Jin Tianlin’s figure flickered and disappeared at the stairway entrance.

The diners glanced at the Jade Slip in Jiang Chen’s hand, hesitation flashing in their eyes. Eventually, they lowered their heads.

They still needed to hunt Necro Spirits on the Abandoned Plains and couldn’t afford to offend the Forsaken Tavern.

”Gentlemen and ladies, your food is here!”

A call rang out as the tavern waiter approached with several dishes.

”Hey, could you please give this to Jin Tianlin Mr. Jin? He left so quickly earlier that I didn’t have time to hand it to him!”

Jiang Chen handed a Space Ring to the waiter.
